‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’: All the lyrics to the controversial song

USA TODAY Published 4:15 PM EST Dec 6, 2018 The 1944 Christmas tune “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” has been banned by radio stations across the country – and even in Canada – for it’s lyrics that some say are inappropriate in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Those against the song say it promotes date rape, describing a man pressuring a woman to stay despite her adamantly telling him “no, no, no.” But supporters argue that context is important, and when the song was written 70 years ago, it had a different meaning. Here are the complete lyrics from the 1944 version of the now-controversial song: (I really can’t stay) But, baby, it’s cold outside More: ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’ pulled from Cleveland radio station amid #MeToo movement More: Let ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’ fade away with 2017 More: Chill out, culture police, on ‘Baby, It’s Cold Outside’
